Linux Download Password Protected Large ISO Images [ Authentication Credentials ]

by

To download a password-protected large ISO image in Linux, you’ll need to provide the authentication credentials (username and password) to the server. The following is a general guideline for downloading a password-protected ISO image:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Use the wget command to download the ISO image:
$ wget --user=<username> --password=<password> <URL_of_the_ISO_image>

Replace <username> and <password> with your actual username and password, and replace <URL_of_the_ISO_image> with the URL of the ISO image.

  1. Wait for the download to complete.

The wget command will download the ISO image and save it in the current directory. You can also specify a different directory using the -P option:

$ wget --user=<username> --password=<password> -P <directory> <URL_of_the_ISO_image>

Replace <directory> with the path to the directory where you want to save the ISO image.

Note that this method is not secure and the username and password will be visible in the terminal history. It is recommended to use a secure method such as a VPN or encrypted file transfer protocol (SFTP) to download the ISO image.
